Kelly Clarkson - me

buried myself into somebody else
shut out some parts of me
did it so casually

i guess i needed that
to be able to step back
i lived my life without me
i never allowed me to

too much i’ve had to live for
put my life on hold for
i’m always pleasin’ someone
honestly now i’m done

i don’t need somebody to hold me
don’t need somebody to love me
don’t need somebody to pick these pieces up
i put together my broken
let go of the pain i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me

loved you so much
took an army to pull me up
but now on the other side
i remembered i could fly

i told you i wanted you
but you needed me to need you
your insecurity
was the death of you and me

too many times you questioned
what were my intentions
i never gave you reasons
you’re the one with secrets

i don’t need somebody to hold me
don’t need somebody to love me
don’t need somebody to pick these pieces up
i put together my broken
let go of the pain i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me
when i got me
when i got me

i bet you feel the absence of my love every night
there’s no one else, you are the reason i said goodbye

cause i don’t need somebody to scold me
don’t need somebody that hurts me
don’t need somebody who feels weak standing next to me
i put together my broken
let go of your hand i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me
when i got me, yeah
